They have nothing to lose so might as well go for it. But if the best Quarterback in the league (Hi, DeMeco) can't get anything out of him, I'm not sure what he's expecting from Stroud and co.
I don't like the idea of the starters being given a collective two week break. If the Chiefs and Texans win tonight I imagine they will still start for at least a half against the Jets and maybe a quarter at Foxboro, but with a game plan even more vanilla than we saw last weekend.
